To ensure compliance with the EMC standards listed here, high quality shielded interface cables should be used.

Horizontal timing susceptibility of the optical sampling modules and their internal clock recovery trigger signals usually increases
the horizontal timing jitter when external electromagnetic fi elds are applied. For fields up to 3 V/m, the increase in the horizontal
high-frequency RMS jitter is typically less than 3 ps RMS of jitter, added using the square-root-of-the-sum-of-the-squares method.
An example follows:
If an 80C01–CR operating in clock-recovery trigger mode exhibits 3.5 ps RMS of edge jitter, with no EMC field applied and for an
ideal jitterless input, then for applied fields up to 3 V/m the edge jitter, degradation would typically result in a total RMS jitter of:

Key Features
The DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer is a high-speed, precision sampling system that finds use in validation and conformance
testing and impedance verification for:
High-performance semiconductor/computer applications, such as semiconductor testing, TDR characterization of circuit
boards, IC packages and cables, and high-speed serial digital data communications.
High-performance communications applications, s uch as design evaluation and manufacturing test of datacom and
telecom components, transceiver subassemblies, and transmission systems.
The instrument includes a user interface that runs on the Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system as a windowed
application. You operate the instrument using front-panel controls with the mouse and keyboard or with the touch screen.
Features Include:
Industry-leading waveform acquisition and measurement rate, with Sample, Envelope, and Average acquisition modes.
Support for up to six sampling modules (two large and four small modules). Up to eight inputs can be active at a time.
Support for integrated optical and/or electrical signal pick-off and clock recovery, enabling a ccurate triggering on optical
and/or electrical c ommunication signals.
Support for optical modules with several integrated, selectable reference receivers, which eliminates the need for
a multitude of add-on reference receivers.
Key Features
Full programmability, with an extensive GPI B-command set and a message-based interface.
True differential TDR, with fast step (15 psec reflected risetime) when used with a TDR-capable 80E10 sampling module.
Industry-leading trigger bandwidth (12+ GHz) when using the built-in prescaler.
Support of both telecom (SONET and SDH) and datacom (Fibre Channel, Infiniband, and Gigabit Ethernet) optical
communication standards.
Powerful built-in measurement capability, including histograms, mask testing, and automatic measurements.
Automatic measurements operate on Pulses, RZ eye patterns, and NRZ eye pa
DC to 65 GHz optical bandwidth; DC to 70+ GHz electrical bandwidth, with up to 12.5 GHz triggering. Bandwidth is
determined by the capabilities of the installed modules.
Low jitter (200 fs typical) in phase reference modes with the 82A04 Phase Reference module.
FrameScan acquisition for isolating data-dependent failures during conformance/performance testing and for examining
very low-level repetitive signals.
Pattern (frame) triggering with the 80A06 PatternSync Trigger module.
Jitter, Noise, and BER analysis with the 80SJNB Essentials application. With the 80SJNB Advanced application, features
for de-embedding of the fixture, channel emulation, and FFE/DFE equalizer support are also added.
Improved acquisition throughput and timing accuracy using the PatternSync Trigger module in conjunction with
FrameScan.
Support for optical conformance testing of SONET/SDH signals (including the various forward error correction rates for
these telecom rates) from 155 Mbps to 43 Gb/s, Fibre Channel signals, and 1, 2, 10, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet signals
